Chaturthi

The fourth moon (Charturthi) is associated with Ganesha. The fourthday of
the waxing moon is called Vinayaka chaturthi. Worshipping Ganesha on this day is auspicious & brings success. The Vinayaka chaturthi
which falls in the half of August-September is most auspicious as it comes after the monssons when the earth is green filled with new
vegetation. The Vinayaka Chaturthi which falls in the bright half of Magh (January-February) is also celebrated in some parts of India as
Ganesh Jayanti. This fourth day of the waning moon is known as Sankashti chaturthi. If Sankashri chaturthi falls on Tuesday, it is
called Angarika Chaturthi and is also auspicious. Vinayaka Chaturthi is celebrated as a big festival in the city of Mumbai, Inida. The
Ganesha idols are installed in every house & locality and pooja is conducted with great devotion & decoration. Then the idol is
immersed in sea. The idol immersion process is called Visiorjan in Mumbai. All of India celebrates Ganesh Chaturthi in a great grand way.
